I wonder if history will ironically look back at this as a holocaust-like event? It just seems more cruel than anything. I mean these children didn’t blow anything up or take hostages. How is this even remotely justified?

It's not 'like' a holcaust, it is a holocaust. It is ethnic cleansing. Only Israel and it's supporters are justifying it, the rest of the world sees it for what it is, I'm glad South Africa is taking Israel to the international court maybe it can be stopped

At this point they would probably grow up to do so though.

I think you got downvoted because people assumed you meant “kill them early”. I take it as Israel is making it so these children will grow up with a fanatical hatred.

And the only way to break this cycle of hate is with compassion and mercy.

I'm not saying kill them. That's horrible. The whole thing is horrible. It's still important to empathize even with your enemies doing horrible things to understand what's driving them, what's motivating them.

What I'm saying is Israel is motivated to kill them all early. Compassion and mercy unfortunately are NOT the only way to break a cycle.
